Expected roster moves
Following the game Sunday against Joliet, Washington manager Bob Bozzuto said the Wild Things will put two players on the disabled list ahead of the series opener Tuesday night at Windy City.
Outfielder C.J. Beatty will be placed on the 7-day disabled list with a quad muscle injury and pitcher Joe Iorio will go on the 14-day DL oblique muscle strain. Beatty will get a few extra off days because of the all-star break next week, so the target date for his return is July 17 against Normal.
Bozzuto said the Wild Things will add outfielder Jon Minucci and pitcher Jeremy Holcombe to the roster to replace Beatty and Iorio.
Minucci played last season for the Greys, hitting .265 with eight home runs, 33 RBI and 15 stolen bases. He signed with Southern Illinois in the offseason and played 39 games for the Miners before recently being released. He was batting .217 with two home runs.
Holcombe was in spring training with the Wild Things but released. He is a rookie out of Faulkner University.
Minucci is a player who is intriguing from a scouting angle. He has good size (6-3, 225), can steal bases and is athletic. If the 24-year-old can prove capable of hitting pro pitching ...

If you have a radio, cellphone or computer and CBS Sports network on your cable you could have been listening to the Mild Things choking away a lead and watch the Rebellion choking away a win at the same time tonight.
Good job Stu.
Anybody notice the lack of activity on this blog?
Seems nobody gives a darn about the WT now. Actually,
they are not very exciting, are they?
(crickets chirping)
Guess that's the sound you get on this blog and inside that empty stadium of the Mild Things before the team moves to Parkersburg. Predicted here first.
you have to admit the two come from behind wins in the last two games were pretty exciting -
Not really, Jeff. How much is Williams paying you?
Jeff, you should know by know this blog is run by Wild Things haters. Its like a good neighborhood bar that was taken over and ruined by a bunch of biker thugs. Anything you say about baseball and the team that is positive or interesting will be shot down and turned into a shot at the owner or Steve Z.
make that three in a row! - - 9:02, and how much do you get paid for being such a miserable negative person?
Jeff 11:48 priceless comment!!! Such negative, miserable, supposedly don't care but commenting everyday nasty old people!!!!!
Anon 9:02 is just a typical Western Pa. person. You know the kind, a miserable cranky person with no life and no future, probably unemployed or scamming some company claiming to be on disability so all they do is run down other people and try to be as negative as possible. That's what Western Pa. people do best. I turned on The Fan radio station today and heard 3 calls. One person said the Pirates didn't look like a playoff team and is still the same team that collapsed badly in the second half of the season twice. Another caller said all the Pirates have done is have one good weekend and that they always lose when they play good teams. I guess being 40-19 over the last 59 is considered going in the tank in Western Pa. But that's the mentality of people from Western Pa., always trying to run down everybody so that they can make themselves feel better about their dead-end lives. Too bad too many of them hang out on this blog.
A shame of this whole blog situation is the fact that very little is ever discussed about the actual posted subject. I tip my (Wild Things cap) hat to Chris for all the time, energy and research that he puts into this endeavor.
Wow! Jeff is posting things agreeing with himself! How kool..
